winchesters community bank charges its costumers $6.00 per month plus 15cent per check for the use of a standard checking account. Thomas had a checking account there for 8 months and was charged 53.10 in service charges. How many checks did he write during that period?

Answer provided by our tutors

8*6+.15X=53.10

48+.15X=53.10

.15X=53.10-48

.15X=5.10



X=5.10/.15

X=34 CHECKS WERE USED.

PROOF:

8*6+.15*34=53.10

48+5.10=53.10

53.10=53.10
